It depends, you have to be more specific when analyzing these things. Do you mean how old were they when they actually stopped believing in Santa Clause? Or, do you mean how old were they when they could no longer convince (maintaining a straight face all the while) their parents that they still believed?

| |  lol Joe, so true!!! My boys were probably around 11 and 12 when I could no longer believe they believed it. Actually, no, that was when they could no longer believe that I believed they believed it, thats when it truly ends, lol

| | | Alas, Santa died when Steph was around 10. Someone in school told her, and I didn't deny it.

| | That would be me. Besides whose lap do you think you sit on when you are talking to Santa about what you want for Christmas?

| | | My kids never believed. I think it is an awful lie to tell. First how can they ever fully believe and trust in God and Jesus if for their whole kid lives they were "lied to"? If they find out at 10 Santa is a joke what's to keep them from wondering when they are 30 they won't find out Jesus is a joke told to them by their elders? How can they ever trust us as parents if they discover such a lie? Sorry to be a wet blanket to some, but it is a very strong belief in my heart. PS same thing for the Easter Bunny and Tooth Fairy. Sure we have pictures of these characters during their seasons but they were handled as "stories" like the 3 little bears, etc

| | | I found out when i was 8, i woke up about 1 in the morning and my parents were in the living room surrounded by presents and wrapping paper,they didnt see me so i went in my brothers room and woke him up to see what he made of it he was 10, i knew he was a little bad ass and would question it and he would get in trouble not me,lol anyway the spun around the truth a little and finally came clean once they knew we were not buying it..
